In honor of the upcoming election, I put together a Political Vest to wear in public. I plan to wear this with my Anti-Hillary T-Shirt to various outings with my family, as well as Free Republic Events (Freeps), and the various Colorado GOP party events until Mitt Romney has safely landed in the White House.
Here are some pictures:
On the front of the Vest I have an Anti Che picture which I cut out from a T-Shirt and sewed onto the vest. Here is a link to where you can purchase this T-Shirt.
On the back of the vest I sewed this picture of Ronald Reagan, purchased at the same online store. You can purchase it here.

As soon as Mitt Romney officially declares his candidacy, I plan to get some stickers, buttons, etc to put on the vest.
Oh, and I wear this T-Shirt under the vest:
So far I have worn my political stuff to play volleyball, softball, to my son's soccer game (that struck me as particularly symbolic as we soccer moms seem to be the one's most talked about during the political season - No Dems, you are not going to tell this soccer Mom how to think and how to vote, and you sure as heck don't speak for me).
I have had several perplexed people come up to me and ask me why I am against Che. Another person told me that he had a doctorate in Political Science from an Ivy League school and he just didn't get the Hillary Communism connection. I just smiled at him. After talking to him I decided that perhaps I should have suggested the idea that some important information was left out of his amazingly expensive education. But I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
Those of us who are politically active republicans often came to our conclusions about politics after a heart felt search to learn the truth about Freedom, Democracy, and the ugliness of Collectivism. I would not want to rob from this newly credentialed young father of three the satisfaction he must be feeling at becoming a "Doctor" in Political Science. The fact that his credentials do little more than qualify him to be the local dog catcher, or perhaps teach politics on some third rate Ivy League Communist Concentration Camp Campus will soon enough become plain to him. But I don't need to shove his face in it.
I read this piece the other day on Govenor Romney at National Review.
"Inside was a largely different story. Romney implored those listening — both inside Tremont Temple Baptist, once part of the Underground Railroad, and those potentioanlly 80 million people (according to FRC) watching across the country via a video simulcast — to “show an outpouring of respect and tolerance for all people, regardless of their differences or their different choices” and to “vigorously reject discrimination.” Due to a technical difficulty, Romney was brought back on stage for a second take. Gently but firmly, the governor emphasized this point — no doubt having heard the more combative speaker who followed his first appearance. “I believe God loves all of his children,” Romney said.
While urging support for a federal marriage amendment that would protect traditional marriage, children were the focus of the governor’s remarks. “Marriage,” Romney said, “is primarily about the nurturing and development of children.” He added, “A child’s development is enhanced by the nurturing of both genders. Every child deserves a mother and a father.” And, driving the point home: “The price for same-sex marriage is paid by children.” Romney’s presence and focus impressed Lesette Wright, an energetic youth minister at the church. “I was very impressed with what he said about children. He understands.” Talking about how violence and other behavioral problems are often seen in children she works with who come from broken families and families with no father present, she said of Romney’s remarks, “That pain is real.”
Romney’s appearance stood in stark contrast with others in the Massachusetts statehouse who are working against marriage, Boston resident Kym Ayala told NRO. “He was wonderful…. We need politicians fighting that fight.” “It was amazing to see him and his wife stand here right with us for the family. He was the highlight of the evening,” added Linda Strothar.
And what about the much talked about “Mormon problem”? Speaking to the British Times recently, when asked if his religion would be a problem if he chose to run for the White House, Romney said: “People used to wonder whether a divorced actor could be elected … or whether a Mormon could win Massachusetts, a state that is 55% Catholic.”
He continued, “There was probably a time when people cared which church you went to, but that’s past. People today look to see a person’s faith in the way they live in their home with their family.”
I will be working hard these next two years to help get Gov. Romney elected to the presidency.
